Version history

Version	Changes
3.16.0	If not mentioned below, all sources that previously provided reduced reservation, including for specific skills or types of skills, now provide increased mana reservation efficiency at twice the value of the reduced reservation they used to give. Modifiers on existing items are affected by these changes. Items that previously caused socketed gems to have reduced reservation have been balanced separately to other reservation efficiency effects. They still provide generic reservation efficiency rather than mana reservation efficiency, but generally have values lower than double the amount of reservation reduction they used to provide. Existing items will be updated to the functionality and values stated below, but will still display the old values unless updated with a Divine Orb. Prism Guardian now grants "Socketed Gems have 30% increased Reservation Efficiency", instead of "Socketed Gems have 25% reduced Reservation".
3.14.0	The costs and reservations system for skills has been extensively reworked to add new options. (Not stated in patch note) The mod of Prism Guardian has wording changed.
2.0.0	Now grants +2 to the Level of Aura Gems Socketed in this Item.
1.3.0	Block Chance has been reduced from 24% to 22%.
1.1.0	Reduced the implicit resistance values on hybrid strength/intelligence shields.
0.10.7	Added 3D art.
0.9.13	Introduced to the game.
